Application server for dispatching physiological signals in a hospital, in real time
First Claim
1. An application server that dispatches physiological signals in a hospital, in real time, the hospital comprising a local area network infrastructure with a virtual local area network supporting a voice over IP telephony application, said server comprising:
- a soft phone that receives packets containing samples of a physiological signal via a first terminal connected to the virtual local area network,a sound processing module that de-encapsulates a received packet containing samples of said physiological signal, at the real time transport protocol level, anda loop back module that creates a second packet containing samples of said physiological signal, and forwards the second packet back at least to the first terminal.
